The nic on TVs tend to be awful. I can barely break 100mbps on my lg wired or wireless.

100mbps should be enough for a few 4K streams, and I imagine you’re not streaming more than one thing to your TV at any given time.

4k yes, 4k hdr is where it becomes limiting...from what I've read.

Perhaps, and I’ll readily admit my ignorance on this.

That said, I doubt the HDR overhead would be any larger than the equivalent baseline SDR content.

If my intuition is right, depending on other factors like compression you could still fit at least 2 streams on that bandwidth.
